MINI Alignment FAQ
1. How often should a Mini get a wheel alignment?
Every 12 months or 20,000 km, or anytime you notice pulling, uneven tire wear, or after hitting potholes or curbs. Modified Minis require more frequent checks.
2. What alignment settings are best for a Mini Cooper?
Factory OEM specs work for most drivers, but performance enthusiasts may prefer more aggressive camber and toe settings. Our specialists can set custom specs upon request.
3. Can a bad wheel alignment damage my Mini?
Yes. Poor alignment causes rapid tire wear, unsafe handling, and added stress on suspension components such as control arms and bushings.
4. Do you align lowered or modified Mini Coopers?
Yes. We specialize in suspension modifications, coilovers, lowering springs, and performance alignment setups.
5. How long does a Mini wheel alignment take?
Typically 45–60 minutes. Additional time may be needed if suspension adjustments or components require correction.

Is Your Vehicle Ready for a Wheel alignment?
Pre-alignment expectations:
If the car has been worked on by you or another facility make sure:
- make sure the condition of the steering and suspension are safe and in proper working condition.
- the front tie rods are not seized. They are quite inexpensive and we will not use heat to free them up.
- ball joints, bushings, tie rods are not worn- no play/wear
- bearings are not loose or worn
- no leaking struts/shocks
- steering box is not worn- minor play allowed
- tires are safe
- the car has to be able to run under its own power
- if the vehicle was restored, make sure the facility/person has double checked their work. We do not have time to do this if the vehicle is only in for an alignment. Please book the vehicle in for a steering/suspension re-torque if you do not know if it has been done. We will then proceed with the wheel alignment.
If the car comes in for an alignment and it passes our inspection of the components above we will proceed.
If anything fails we do charge for an inspection since it takes our technician time to do this. We do not want to waste your time and money because these things were not looked at.
If you do not know the condition of these components please ask for a steering and suspension inspection when booking then if everything is fine we will proceed with the wheel alignment.
We are very in depth with our steering/suspension inspections and we will not turn a “blind eye” to any suspension issues since we are liable to any future issues.
Thanks for understanding and hope to see you soon!
